Kaitlin and Alex’s Clearwater Beach Wedding

Kaitlin and Alex’s Clearwater Beach wedding was gorgeous, with its blush, silver, and white color story. It was elegant and a great reflection of this super sweet couple.

PJs and Champagne

For Kaitlin and the ladies, the day began with onsite hair and makeup services, fun photos in their coordinating pajamas, and some bubbles!

 

 

The photos of the bride’s details were so adorable, we’re kind of obsessed with her wedding shoes! And this photo by the window with Kaitlin holding her bridal bouquet is timeless.

 

 

Meanwhile, Across The Hotel

Alex and the guys were hanging out in the groom’s suite, enjoying a toast and getting dressed. They took some time for some group photos before the day’s events began.

 

 

Time To See Dad

Dressed and ready, Kaitlin headed downstairs for a first look and some private time with her father. There were hugs and tears and some very special moments together.

 

 

Headed To The Beach

Outside on the Clearwater Beach promenade, Alex was anxiously awaiting his bride-to-be for their first look.

 

 

The couple had their first look, exchanged some private vows, and spent time with their wedding party, capturing group photos.

 

 

Signing The Ketubah

Back inside the hotel, the couple, the Rabbi, close family, and friends gathered for the couple’s Ketubah signing. The meaningful and beautiful document will hold a place of honor in the newlywed’s home.

I Am My Beloved’s

On the resort’s Sky Terrace, a beautiful floral-covered Chuppah overlooked Clearwater Beach and the Gulf of Mexico.

With everyone in place, Alex looked on as Kaitlin made her way down the aisle, escorted by her father. 

 

 

As the ceremony began, Kaitlin circled her groom before the two took their places under the Chuppah to receive their blessings and exchange wedding rings. We love the image of the couple wrapped in Axle’s Tallis.

 

 

After the traditional breaking of the glass, the newlyweds sealed their bond with a kiss 

 

 

Cocktail Hour 

Wedding guests made their way to cocktail hour, where they would enjoy delicious passed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails.

We still giggle when we talk about Kaitlin and Alex’s selections of Signature Cocktails.

 

Hers – “Shirley, You Can’t Be Serious” – Titos, Sprite, Grenadine and Cherries.

His – “I Am Serious And Stop Calling Me Shirley” – Maker’s Mark, Bitters, Simple Syrup, a Splash of Club Soda, and an Orange Slice.

 

Sunset on Clearwater Beach

During cocktail hour the newlyweds headed off for some amazing wedding portraits. Beginning on the Sky Terrace, they took photos in front of the beautiful Chuppah before heading to the beach for some golden hour photos. The light just before the sun begins to set is mesmerizing. 

 

 

A Sneak Peek

After photos on the beach, Kaitlin and Alex snuck back inside the ballroom for a peek at the decor.

The tables were draped with crisp white linens, silver chiavari chairs, charger plates, and table numbers, which added a shimmer to the decor. Blush napkins held custom menu cards, and the center of the tables was filled with pink and white floral arrangements and collections of candles.

 

The couple’s sweetheart table sat off to one end of the room. A beautiful backdrop of swagged fabric held the couple’s custom neon decoration. To each side of the sweetheart table overflowing with flowers was a table, one for the wedding cake and the other for the Challah and Kiddish Cup for the blessing.

The cake table held the four-tiered wedding cake trimmed in blush ribbon, fresh flowers, and an adorable cake topper.

Eat, Drink and Be Married!

As the introductions took place, the newlyweds burst into the ballroom and made their way to the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife.

 

 

The evening continued with a welcome toast by the father of the bride, a delicious multi-course dinner, several touching toasts, and a cake cutting.

Following the parent dances, the newlyweds were called back to the dance floor for a vibrant Hora, which officially opened the dance floor for the evening!
